Thank you for the reply! Great to know - I had dialed the SWCG down to 15% but even then it creeped up to FC 10 so I guess it need to dial it down a tad more! I do run it for quite a while, even in the winter.

Good morning! I’ve been getting my pool ready for swimming season...which is only a few weeks away at most here in LA :) Thanks to this forum, I was able to achieve a clear pool with the following test results: FC - 9 (I know this is higher than the target in the chart- but is it hurting...

Morning friends!! This stuff on the bottom of my pool is driving me absolutely nuts and nothing seems to make it go away. I know the pictures show it as brown, but in real life it has a very good orange color to it, almost like a true rust color. I do have well water and I am not sure if this...

Awesome - thanks everyone for the input! The water is definitely pretty muddy for a few seconds when I randomly backwash so I really thought I should be doing it more often than my gauge says to.

Hi everyone, Happy Monday! I had a question on when exactly I should be backwashing. I have always read that once the filter pressure rises by a certain amount (past the clean filter pressure), that was when it should be done. It is just when I look at the little pressure gauge, it never...

Thank you, everyone! I am convinced this is my problem after all the replies! ALL of them were super helpful!! Very good point about maybe previous years it shut off. I also wondered about the run time and how that affected the amount it was generating. I always figured since it was still...

Awesome, great to know!

Hi! I am in Gonzales, Louisiana so just one state over :) Yes, the water temp is prob low 60s as well and we are about to have a major storm tonight and temps dropping to 30-40s for the next week. I have never experienced this before in the winter and I have never had to adjust my salt...

Hi All, I am hoping someone can help me out on this one, as I am stumped. Thanks to this forum, I've been able to keep my pool crystal clear for 2 years now. All of a sudden though, my Chlorine level keeps going sky high. My current levels are below. I am not adding any chemicals at...

It is definitely green this morning (not brown). But it is not like an algae murky green it's more of a clear green. The paper towel did not turn brown/rust or have black spots. Going to recheck numbers in a few min. Thanks all!

Thank you, I agree with sticking to TFP. I just put some paper towels in and will check them in a bit to confirm if they turn rust colored.

Im on city water but I'm googling what you guys told me and it appears it's from all the algaecide my husband put in :-(. :-( now im searching on how to get the iron out and super hoping that I do not have to drain and start over :-(
